Hello, friends and partners,
In the ancient time people who lived here celebrated the winter solstice with the feast of Ignazhden on December 20, one of its names being “New Day”. In Bulgarian beliefs, the day of Ignazhden begins the New Year. There is a believe that this day has a magical power and that is why our ancestors observed all the symbols and signs on this day, many magical rituals were also performed.
It is on the eve of the Winter Solstice – that time of year when we celebrate the idea of the reborn Sun. The time of long dark nights is believed to have a powerful regenerative energy that leads us to renewal and self-awareness. It is now that the energy of the Moon Goddess is worshipped, who is believed to give birth to the Sun. This is why ancient civilizations, cultures and religions have created their own rituals to honor and tap into this unique energy.
On this special day – December 20 at 5:30pm we invite our whole Otkrivatel community to be part of our Christmas concert and bazaar at the Military Club. This year, the program and organisation of the event was entirely made by our students. Come to enjoy the creative energy and artistry presented through music and dance. Do not miss the opportunity to see the magical mood of the children from their hard work.
In addition, during our Christmas workshops, we prepare many Christmas surprises that you will be able to buy during the Charity Bazaar. As always, the funds raised from the bazaar go to a charity cause chosen by the children. Expect further information from your child.
We are looking forward to meeting you there.
